@Emre0, Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Non-Booting HP Victus 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution. 

 

If your HP Victus 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop isn't booting due to deleting critical system files such as those in the System32 directory, you can attempt the following steps to try to address the issue:

Enter Safe Mode:

  • To try and access Safe Mode, turn on the computer and immediately start pressing the Esc key. When the Start Menu opens, press F11 to open the Recovery Environment.
  • From here, go to "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced Options" > "Startup Settings" and restart.
  • Once the computer restarts, select option 4 or press F4 to start in Safe Mode.

System Restore:

  • If Safe Mode is accessible, try performing a System Restore to revert the system back to a point before the issue occurred:
    1. Type 'rstrui' in the command prompt within Safe Mode and press Enter.
    2. Follow the prompts to restore the system to a previous state.

Recovery Media:

  • If Safe Mode is inaccessible, use HP Recovery Manager to perform a system recovery.
  • Connect your computer to a power source.
  • Use a recovery USB or DVD if available. Insert the recovery media and restart the computer.
  • Press F9 at boot to enter the boot menu and select the recovery media from the options.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed with the recovery.

Create Recovery Media Post-Recovery:

  • Once the system is restored or repaired, consider creating a recovery drive using HP Recovery Manager for future recovery needs. You can create this from the HP Support website or an optional external optical drive for creating recovery discs if necessary. 

 

Hope this helps!

Take care, and have an amazing day!
